Review: Frigid by J. Lynn

Title: Frigid (Frigid #1)

Author: J. Lynn

Source: Purchased

Synopsis:

For twenty-one-year-old
Sydney, being in love with Kyler isn't anything new. They'd been best
friends ever since he pushed her down on the playground and she made him
eat a mud pie. Somewhere over the years, she fell for him and fell
hard. The big problem with that? Kyler puts the 'man' in man-whore. He's
never stayed with a girl longer than a few nights, and with it being
their last year in college, Syd doesn't want to risk their friendship by
declaring her love.

Kyler has always put Syd on a pedestal
that was too high for him to reach. To him, she's perfect and she's
everything. But the feelings he has for her, he's always hidden away or
focused on any other female. After all, Kyler will always be the poor
boy from the wrong side of tracks, and Syd will always be the one girl
he can never have.

But when they're stranded together at a posh
ski resort due to a massive Nor'easter, there's nothing stopping their
red-hot feelings for each other from coming to the surface. Can their
friendship survive the attraction? Better yet, can they survive at all?
Because as the snow falls, someone is stalking them, and this ski trip
may be a life-changer in more ways than one.

My Review:

Frigid is the first book in a new series by Jennifer Armentrout,
writing as J. Lynn. It's a New Adult contemporary romance about a
girl named Sydney, who has been best friends with Kyler since they
were in elementary school. Somewhere along the way, Sydney fell in
love with Kyler. She doesn't tell him though. After all, he has a
constant stream of girls in his bed. She seems to be the only girl
that Kyler hasn't had sex with.

Kyler plans the yearly trip to the ski resort for their group of
friends. Sydney rides up with Kyler, and everyone else rides up
separately. However, there's a horrible snow storm and the others
aren't able to make it. Sydney and Kyler end up being stranded
together during the storm. Both characters secretly pine for the
other but neither will admit it. After being stranded for awhile, and
after some interesting things happened, Sydney grew some balls and
basically told him that she wanted him. Things got really hot
and steamy after that.

I know there are some complaints out there over Sydney's
character, but I really liked her. I totally identified with her. She
has self-esteem issues and her mind is always wandering thinking of
the worst possible thing. When it comes to sex, I think she has good
reason to be so self cautious like she is. And I like the fact that
she would rather read a book than go partying.

I liked Kyler too...I know a lot of female readers are gushing
over his character. I like how protective he is over Sydney.
But...the fact that he is a man-whore is a turn-off. If I were
Sydney, I'd be afraid I'd get a disease or something...

The plot was fairly predictable, but there was some danger and
suspense added in to the mix. There were some humorous moments as
well. I was glad to see that there were some chapters from Kyler's
point of view. It's always nice to know what the guy is thinking. And
I liked the double meaning for the title. If you like sexy, romantic
New Adult books, then I would give this one a try.
